PROCIDA & USTICA

PROCIDA

PROCIDA is 3D printed intervertebral cage from Italian company Tsunami Medical is used for fixation and fusion of spinal segments.

Who is it for?

The implant is recommended for patients suffering from acute or chronic instabilities of movement segments in the thoracic, lumbar or lumbosacral spine. Specifically, in cases of degenerative disc disease, fracture, spondylolisthesis, spinal trauma or stenosis, and in cases of pseudoarthrosis or tumour. It is intended to be used in combination with additional fixation, such as pedicle screw systems, interlaminar stabilisation implants or lateral fixation.

Why PROCIDA ?

One of the main advantages of the Procida implant is its unique “net” structure obtained through additive manufacturing technology. In addition to excellent primary fixation, it eliminates the risk of implant migration and, thanks to its roughened surface, significantly supports the natural process of osteo-integration. The elasticity of the material is close to the characteristics of a healthy bone and can easily adapt to the individual anatomical needs of each patient. The innovative multi-directional expansion mechanism also contributes to the versatility of its use, allowing both cranial-caudal height expansion as well as ammendment to the desired lordosis angle by extending in the anterior and posterior direction, which can help restore balance even in multiple affected segments.

The implant is offered in two transverse-longitudinal footprints with a height range of 9-14 mm and possible lordotisation or kyphotisation from -20° to +20°.

USTICA

USTICA is 3D printed expandable interbody fusion cage from Italian company Tsunami Medical designed to restore and maintain height of the intervertebral bodies and to promote biological fusion.

Who is it for ?

The implant is designed for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, pseudoarthrosis or instability of motion segments in the thoracic, lumbar or lumbosacral regions of the spine, as well as for surgical procedures in case of trauma or tumors. The system is designed to be used in combination with additional means of fixation such as pedicle screws or interlaminar stabilization implants. For patients suffering from osteopenia, osteomalacia or other types of osteoporotic disease, a careful assessment by a surgeon is required before using the implant.

Why USTICA ?

The exceptionality of the Ustica implant lies in its unique internal “net” structure, obtained through an additive manufacturing process. This ensures both excellent primary fixation and sufficient positional stability of the implant with minimal risk of migration. With its elasticity and structural properties, Ustica is close the structure of a healthy bone, which, together with the roughened porous surface contributes significantly to the fast osteo-integration of the implant. Another innovative feature is the multi-directional expansion mechanism, which allows for height expansion as well as changing the desired lordosis angle by expanding in the anterior and posterior direction, making it possible to comfortably adapt Ustica to the anatomical requirements of each patient.

The implant is offered in two transverse-longitudinal footprints with a hight range of 8-13 mm and possible lordosis angles ranging from 2° to 14°.
